Xiao Moer left, and everyone spontaneously made way for him as they had done before.
"The little prodigy is mighty."
Suddenly, someone among the people shouted loudly, and immediately others followed suit.
"Little prodigy."
"Little prodigy."
"Little prodigy."
…
Xiao Moer nodded slightly at everyone. With his small body and serious manner, he performed a bachelor's salute to the people standing outside.
His humility and his attitude towards the people won him more and more love from the people.
Scholars were aloof, proud, and superior, often looking down on peddlers like them, while they, too, felt inferior. No scholar had ever treated them like this, giving them the courtesy of a scholar.
He did not look down on them, but respected them as people, which made them dislike him.
The students from various academies and the students who came to Beijing for the imperial examinations from all over the country were shocked by his actions, and many of them were simply impressed.
Lin Feng led the students of Hanshan Academy out of the pavilion in the center of the lake. Like Xiao Moer, he stood outside and saluted to all the people.
The students of Taibai Academy, led by Qi Menghui, did the same thing.
This made the people stunned and they dared not move a step.
Afterwards, students from all the major academies did the same thing, and even students from all over the country did the same.
This action and this scene left everyone on the opposite street dumbfounded.
After this battle, the name of the prodigy Mo began to spread throughout the Southern Tang Kingdom, especially the song "A Smile in the Sea" he played when competing with others, which became popular throughout the entire Chang'an City and even spread to the entire Chang'an City and the surrounding countries.
Because of this song, Xiao Zimo's reputation as a child prodigy spread to neighboring countries.
This is of course a later story.
The people in the Lakeside Pavilion dispersed, but the topic remained.
As night fell, a dark figure in a quiet alley looked around. Seeing that no one was around, he quickly entered the alley. Once in the alley, he walked directly to the end of the alley.
After a while, a dark shadow jumped down from the roof, startling the people waiting in the alley.
"You're here." Tao Jing looked at the person in front of her.
The man was wearing a mask, and a deep, hoarse voice came from the mask, "This time, the matter was handled well."
Tao Jing smiled and said, "How dare I neglect what the master has asked of me? I wonder how much I will be paid..."
The masked man handed him a stack of banknotes, and Tao Jing quickly accepted them, his face full of joy.
"Sir, if you have such matters next time, you can leave them to me." Tao Jing said hurriedly.
The masked man glanced at him, his cold eyes full of contempt.
"Don't let anyone else know about this."
"Of course." Tao Jing assured quickly.
The masked man left using light skills. After he left, the two people who had been staying on the roof followed the masked man, followed that man, out of Chang'an City, and came to an ordinary farm in the suburbs.
After entering the village, the person immediately disappeared.
Bei Yutang and Feng Lihen followed the man and disappeared into a secret room.
There were four or five people sitting in the secret room, all dressed in Shu Kingdom costumes. The leader was a young woman with beautiful features, a heroic look between her brows, and coldness in her slanted eyes.
After entering the secret room, the masked man took off his mask, revealing an ordinary face.
